    LIVE from the Camino Norte vs Frances - Yikes!

    We started the Camino del Norte on August 5th. We were spoiled to mostly have the trails to ourselves for 30 days. There were batches of pilgrims at certain points. Many Spaniards walked for a week or 10 days from Bilbao, Santander or Gijon. In general though there were not that many walking...

The Spanish were not doing any checks of people heading into Spain. Vehicles and pedestrians passed freely. Don’t...
